I would stay again even though our stay wasn't perfect. The staff of the hostel were incredible. Great recommendations, very personable. The AC was wonderfully responsive. The beds were comfortable. The balcony was very pleasant. The water available for refilling our water bottles was an absolute delight to have access to at all hours. We didn't know that there would be some construction going on while we were there to fix some stairs - hearing a drill at 7:30am wasn't the most pleasant, nor was smelling the wood stain in the early morning hours. I do wish the bathroom walls were scrubbed down a little better. Impressively though, there wasn't any sand on the floors of our room upon arrival. Being on the waterfront, the smell of the sargassum was very strong and did get inside. The sargassum has absolutely nothing to do with this property specifically though, it's just something to note if you're traveling to this area.

Loved the room with AC and cubicle beds shelve and private light. Clean toilets and spacious showers. Very quiet despite the often noise bar. Close to activity shops like; snorkelling, diving, kite surfing, etc. Wish some guests would respect the hospitality of those charming locals.
